Wally’s Desert Turtle
Wally’s Desert Turtle in Rancho Mirage, California, a Desert icon for over thirty-seven years, was established in 1978 by Mr. Wally Botello, the founder of the famed fine-dining Velvet Turtle chain. Now owned and operated by his son Michael, and his wife Nicole, the extensive menu serves contemporary Californian cuisine, prepared by classically trained Executive Chef Richard Pelz. We have nightly Chef’s Specials created by Executive Chef, Richard E. Pelz.
